Hammers hand out another four goal thrashing
That keeps them on top of the table going into a three-week winter break in their fixtures as their amazing frm showed no signs of easing off..
They handed out a 4-0 defeat to the Geordies with goals from Anthony Scully who headed in Bernardo Rosa’s cross before Nathan Holland’s well-directed finish made it two.
Alfie Lewis rabbed the third and Holland the fourth ensured the Irons youngsters have now recorded 11 wins and two draws in their undefeated League programme.
And afterwards lead coach Dmitri Halajko revealed that while remaining on top of the League the lads are relishing their title race with nearest challengers Manchester United a they go into the Chrstmas and New Year break.
He said: “I thought it was a real professional performance from us. We kept the ball well, moved it from side to side and went through the middle when we needed to.
“A clean sheet always makes everybody happy and scoring four goals is something to be really proud of, so it was near to a perfect performance for us really.
“It’s nice to be part of a winning team. It’s nice to be part of a team that’s challenging for things. They’re at an age now where they really, really want that, and it’s showing.”
“I think physically it’s probably a good point for a break because I think we’ve had boys who have worked really, really hard, and a couple of days’ rest will be great from them,” he noted.
“From that point of view it’s good, but momentum-wise it’s probably a bad time for a rest because we are in such good form – it’s a bit of good and a bit of bad.”
